Dog training often leads people into believe obedience is the answer.
It sets the expectation that control over another being is the goal.
Without control, you won’t have harmony or peace in your home.
This isn’t true.
Creating peace and harmony is only attainable when you respond in the moment with awareness of yourself and those around you.
You let go of controlling them and the situation you’re in.
You learn to flow with your dog, your friends, family, work colleague regardless of what’s happening because you recognize the illusion of control limits your life.
When you deepen your awareness of yourself can you make choices that are congruent to who you are as a person that desires connection and freedom, then you can can feel the harmony and peace that already exists.
Do you desire to slow down and want to deepen a connection to yourself so you can live more harmoniously with those you care about, including your dogs?
